[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible she thought you said four months rather than four years?  It's still inappropriate, but a little more rational.[/quote]

That's my thought; otherwise it make no sense at all.[/quote]

I think this too. She thought OP said 4 months, OP said she stopped a long time ago or it didn't work out or something (but didn't specifically reference 4 months, because why would you) and the nurse diagnosed flu. If the baby was 4 months, then breastfeeding DOES actually offer some protection against the flu if mom got a vaccine (or was exposed); see (from the CDC): https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/breastfeeding-special-circumstances/maternal-or-infant-illnesses/influenza.html#targetText=In%20fact%2C%20women%20who%20get,cannot%20receive%20the%20flu%20vaccine.

No, not acceptable medical care.  If in fact the nurse thought the child was 4 months she was not providing sound medical care. She didn't ask anything, but she assumed things. No No No a nurse at a pediatrician should not assume. While there maybe shared antibodies the child is already sick. Hence mom calling and asking questions.

Nurse needs to be fired period. There is not one rational thought to what the nurse did. Time to change doctors offices. Nurses should not shame mothers for whenever they chose to breast feed or not. Or for how long or if never.
